About Paperang
Paperang is a consumer electronics brand best known for its portable Bluetooth thermal printers, designed to print notes, photos, labels, checklists, study materials, receipts, and other monochrome documents directly from smartphones and computers. The brand is operated by Xiamen Paperang Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese technology company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian, China. Paperang combines compact hardware with a companion mobile application, allowing users to print without ink through direct thermal printing technology. [1]
History

According to the company, its crowdfunding campaign exceeded one million yuan within the first day and achieved more than 3,400% of its funding goal. Around the same period, Paperang received recognition through a CES Innovation Award, helping establish its international presence. [2]
